Poetry Speaks To Me

Using everyday language Poetry speaks to me Through the awareness of the spirit Poetry speaks to me Through the cord of Silence Poetry speaks to me Inside the cubicle of despair Poetry speaks to me Along the path of my madness Poetry speaks to me At the centre of my confusion Poetry speaks to me Through the eyes of peace Poetry speaks to me Outside the gates of logic Poetry speaks to me Inside the tunnel of Hope Poetry speaks to me In the vastness of my imagination Poetry speaks to me Away from the prying eyes of hatred Poetry speaks to me It is almost impossible to hear the words of Poetry Inside the labyrinth of logic and reason The matrix of knowledge is offensive to the cord of Silence The volume of uncertainty is obstructive to the path of Light The level of anguish is visible to the eyes of Poetry But the wall of ego is prohibitive to the spirit of Poetry Unless one learns to put on the garment of Silence The voice of Spirit poetry will remain elusive ©Kenneth Maswabi
